I had OSX server 10.5.7 running on my G5 Xserve. I swapped the 
disks over to my Intel Xserve and it ran 10.5.7 straight away.

Did you make a dmg of the volume or the entire disk?

I did, and that didn't work either. When the VM started it asked for 
the image file and I selected the SL-Server dmg. Then it crashed. See

It's all gibberish to me. I went to the VB discussion forums but they 
wanted my life history nand personal details before letting me post. 
That's when I decided to try Fusion.
